Map Port Question

Matijs · Oct 28, 2013

I am porting a little map for dayz,
so I got it all working, I think, cause when I log in, I spawn in the middle of the ocean, I think thats because the spawn points are not in the right place.
But then when I abort and connect again, the loading screen is stuck at "Setup completed, please wait" and when I go into the database, at the character data, at my profile uid, I see at the instance line a "-1". Anyone knows how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind, fixed it.

What did you do?

I tought I fixed it, but apparently its still not working, when I log into the server, and I get the waiting screen, I added the worldspace in the database myself, then I rejoin and I spawn, but when I die and wanna spawn again, I always need to change the worldspace

After I changed the spawn points and debug, I did some changes to my server_playerSetup.sqf and it seems to work now. Try this code, and add in the name of your map on line 183 if it is an island: (I'm using 1.8.0.3)

Code:

Now, ive got another problem now: I join: I get server responded, creating character <- Message I get, the loading bar is empty and its not doing anything, when I rejoin, In the database, at the worldspace, I get a number with a "e-xxxx" behind it, and I spawn in the water.

Oh man, I don't know.. I had to change the location for all 100 entries in mission file to the same place as respawn_west. Did you do that too?
